One of my favorites is a toilet seat that attaches to a truck’s rear bumper, for hunters. The warning: “Do not use when vehicle is in motion.” But I happen to know the guys who make the thing added that after they saw a truck going down the road with their product attached (probably as a joke), and started worrying about a lawsuit. This is common, and gives me another opportunity to blame the lawyers (and their suit-happy clientele) for at least some of the idiocy in our world.

Seen on a wood heating stove “Caution hot when in use”. They are making everthing idiot proof and now the idiots are breeding. God help us all.

Hey Mr Belanger – I’m making a move to a very rural part of KY soon. At the beginning of August I am going to meet with a Mennonite family to see if they will rent their one-room cabin with a loft to me. It’s sits so far back in the woods that you can’t see any house lights during the evenings. No indoor plumbing, no electricity. I am slowly preparing just in case they decide they like me enough to rent to me. I figure if I can make it thru the winter, with just a wood cookstove to heat and eat, I can make it thru anything. I have a friend who asked me, “This is just temporary, isn’t it?” I’m not so sure. There are a number of Amish farms in the area for sale that would really be to my liking. I’m just hoping for an icebox, and a tub to bathe in, and it would be a real treat if there was a gas powered Maytag wringer washer – but I’m not getting my hopes up! Ha Ha. It’s going to be a challenge for me to can on a wood cookstove, but not impossible. I’ll still keep up with my blog – but just once a week or less depending on when I can get to town to the library for wireless Internet. I’m not even sure I can get cell phone reception out there – time will tell. Wish me luck. I love your blog today, and all Fridays. Take care, from Kathy in KY – soon to be living in Casey Co KY.
